I plan to admit 1-2 PhD students to join my lab at Emory (emorymadlab.com). I am especially interested in folks hoping to study (1) infant social cognition or (2) how language/speech influences children's social reasoning (& be co-advised by @lnygaar). Please share!

New manuscript, led by the dev psychologist Ivan Kroupin (@Helen_E_Davis & TC Zeng). Nearly all research on cognitive development (IQ, executive function, memory, etc.) is done in schooled worlds--in communities in which children are raised by people who attended formal schools.

Great news! 🥳 Led by the amazing @MatejaHajdi, a new Max Planck Research Group for Hominin Palaeogenomics started @MPI_EVA_Leipzig. 😊😍 Using cutting-edge #aDNA methods, its goal is to shed light on past encounters between hominin groups. @maxplanckpress eva.mpg.de/press/news/articl…

As always, we are incredibly thankful to the small humans who participated in the study, the adult humans who made the small humans, and our incredible assistants. (3/3)

We also found that fisher-farmer kids solved the hook task more often than forager kids, potentially because they more often used hooks during fishing. Prior experience may matter to the types of innovations children generate (2/3)

New paper! @SezDoesScience @MichelleAKline @DBMHaun @TBroesch and I show that kids from two small-scale societies didn't innovate in the classic WEIRD hook task experiment. BUT they were quick to innovate using novel materials during peer play! (1/3) sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We're discussing this paper today in my department's journal club. The supplemental materials are far above average. Every model and figure script easy to find, clearly documented. Repeating the analysis easy. As a compulsive reader of supplements/code, this is a big help.
Just out: our new paper on how social norms shape sharing across societies. Huge effort with @jbsilk1 Patricia Kanngiesser @TBroesch Clark Barrett @sheinalew Senay Cebioglu @tillaeranthos Carla Sebastián-Enesco @SmithAndrewM Süheyla Yilmaz @an_crittenden rdcu.be/bRIhO

Can the tweeter academic community help me by suggesting recent papers/reviews on hunting and meat-consumption by primates? Anything from the last 2-3 years? Many thanks!

What is the role of teaching in the transmission of foraging knowledge among hunter-gatherers? The answer may surprise you! Check out our new paper here! @an_crittenden @AHBoyette sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
